Cyclin E is a regulatory subunit of cdk-2 and controls G1/S transition during the mammalian cell cycle. Multiple isoforms of cyclin E are expressed only in tumors but not in the normal tissues, suggesting a post-transcriptional regulation of cyclin E. In vitro analysis indicated that these truncated variant isoforms of cyclin E are able to phosphorylate histone H1. Alterations in cyclin E protein have been implicated as indicators of worse prognosis in various cancers.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:50 for 10min at RT
Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10min followed by cooling at RT for 20min
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
SKBR3, MAD109 cells, breast carcinoma, placenta
